HOW’S THE COMPANY PERFORMING?
- New Jersey-based Buckle provides insurance and credit services primarily to below-average wage earners in the US and individuals that either lack a credit history or have a poor one.
- Buckle uses data from the Transportation Network Company rather than conventional credit scores to underwrite its hybrid policies. This enables them to extend coverage to people who are ineligible to apply for insurance as well as policyholders with inordinately high premiums.
- According to Buckle CEO Marty Young, affordable insurance increases customers’ take-home pay by 5%–25%.
